Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master -
Chapter 252 Finding A Mysterious Thing
In this manner, for half a day, Rocky kept running non-stop, and following up with the RainbowGlow Unicorn. Now, they had entered an area that was not only beyond the northeast militarycamp's jurisdiction but also had no state jurisdiction. Therefore, such a zone was full of dangers,since troops, spirit manipulators, or mercenary armies from strange countries, could ambush themat any time.
Having run without taking breaks, Rocky was out of breath, but when he turned to the RainbowGlow Unicorn, he realized that it seemed to have enjoyed the journey. Seeing how happy theRainbow Glow Unicorn looked, Rocky wondered if it was taking him for a ride.
Shortly after that, it brought Rocky to the foot of a cliff. It was at least more than ten meters high,and dangerously steep. The Rainbow Glow Unicorn stopped, and hesitated in front of the cliff. Then,it turned to Rocky, and looked up at the cliff.
Rocky followed its gaze. Initially, he saw nothing, but rock and the sky above it. But when he lookedcarefully, Rocky spotted a cliff cave.
'l wonder if there is anything up there?" Rocky thought.
Then he remembered that the spirit beast was very fond of priceless treasures. Consequently,anything scarce and valuable would definitely attract it. So, Rocky surmised that the treasure trovethat had attracted the Rainbow Glow Unicorn, was possibly up there. He continued to wonder whythe Unicorn had guided him there. Probably because it could not climb up, and wanted Rocky'shelp.
"Do you want to exchange my magical saliva with the treasure up there?" Rocky immediately asked,on realizing, that was what the Rainbow Glow Unicorn wanted, and requested it to be patient. Asthe spiritual beast was brilliant and had a human-like temperament, Rocky was not surprised that ithad thought of such a plan.
In response to Rocky's words, it neighed, and raised its head a few times, and it seemed that itconcurred with his request to be patient.
"All right, if there is any treasure up there, I will give you one more drop of the magical saliva,besides the drop I am carrying now," Rocky said, generously. Now that Rocky had grasped that theRainbow Glow Unicorn had a fixation on getting the magical saliva, Rocky planned to give it to thecreature, in exchange for getting something in return, in the future. Therefore, he thought that if hecould subdue the Rainbow Glow Unicorn, with Uriah and Rubygon's help, he would have threespirit-manipulated beasts in his control. It was every spirit manipulator's dream!
However, right now, it was a day dream, because he was aware that the Rainbow Glow Unicorncould not be subdued easily; for if it were, then, it would not have any value nor importance.Moreover, it was a rare spiritual beast.
When Rocky compared the merits of obtaining the priceless treasure, with subduing the RainbowGlow Unicorn, he decided in favor of the latter. Nevertheless, he knew that it was a challenging job.The creature had shown up because he had smelled the magical saliva. Otherwise, it was next toimpossible even to locate it. Rocky knew that he had to keep his aspirations under cover, becauseeven the slightest hint of any threat, would make the beast take off and disappear.
Therefore, as Rocky and the Rainbow Glow Unicorn, each had plans for the other, they could strike aprofitable bargain with each other. Rocky wanted to make the Rainbow Glow Unicorn drop itsdefense. That also could prove to be a useful tactic to subdue it. Moreover, the crave was a longway away!
After Rocky cast a glance at the Rainbow Glow Unicorn, he took out the Frozen Wind Dagger, andattempted to use it to climb up and fly high, until he finally reached the cave.
When Rocky arrived there, he got an other-worldly smell, that was also extremely pungent. Itsmelled of something rotten, or it could be that it gave out a burnt odor. Whatever it was, Rocky feltnauseous, and found it unbearable.
Also, the cavern was dim, with very less light. That required Rocky to gather the spiritual light as hisillumination equipment. Already, Rocky was surrounded by an eerie silence. Now that he could seewith his equipment, Rocky saw that he was in a deep cave. He could feel the mountain breeze as itblew through the place and could hear the strong wuthering sounds it made, as it broke against thewalls. At that time, Rocky got a spooky feeling, and felt as if ghosts would appear at any time!
In spite of the fact that Rocky was uncomfortable in mind and body at the high altitude cliff cave, hewent further inside it, but all he found were stones and tall rocks. It seemed that its depth increasedas he went further in, besides, it was also pitch dark there.
When Rocky did not replace any treasure there, "That sly Rainbow Glow Unicorn is making a fool ofme," he murmured to himself. He had found nothing on the site. Finding a treasure was a far cryfrom what he found there - stones, haunting silence, and strong wind sounds.
Without a doubt, Rocky was getting cold feet. Firstly, he had not found any treasure; secondly, hewas getting an uncomfortable presentiment. Ignoring that, he nevertheless, continued to explore.He did so, primarily because he was there, also because, he enjoyed what he was doing.
Then out of nowhere, Rocky felt something hit his left foot. Before he knew it, he had lost hisbalance and found himself moving to the right, though he wanted to avoid stepping into that space.But it was too late; he was hurtling down to the ground. Fortunately, owing to his quick reflexes, hecaught the precipice wall and stabilized himself. Once he was secure, he lighted the spiritual light inhis palm. With that, he found another deep cave at his feet. It was full of steep stone pillars. Somewere thick, and the others were thin. The roof too was built in the same pattern. From the outside,when Rocky peered inside to take a look, it looked like the mouth of a horrible monster that couldeat people whole. It was terrifying.
At that moment, Rocky felt that a supernatural power was emanating from the cave. After a slightpause, he decided to go down and take a look. He could see a stone pillar that was jutting out.Pushing his body up and raising it by using his feet, he successfully flew to a stone pillar. Using thesame technique, he then flew to another lower pillar. By pushing his body; thus, he finally landed onthe cave's floor. Now that he could feel the terra firma under his feet, he relaxed. He knew now hewould not fall!
When Rocky looked around, he found that he was in a huge cave, and its pillars were built at aconsiderable distance from each other. It seemed less a cave and more a mysterious maze of pillars,from which navigating one's way would be impossible.
"I think, I shall go in that direction,” Rocky said to himself, and walked toward the direction fromwhere he had felt the presence of the spiritual power.
Rocky had hardly taken a few steps, when he kicked something. On looking down, he found thatthere was a rotten corpse at his feet and he had kicked what was left of it.
After kicking the rotten human mortal remains, Rocky surveyed his surroundings with the utmostcare, but he did not replace anything else. He looked down at the corpse again. It seemed to him that ithad been in the cave for such a long time that it had started to rot. What he saw disgusted him.Rocky was ill at ease with the corpse at his feet, so, without thinking about it twice, he moved on. Ashe went further, he saw that countless ghastly skeletons were piled up, one top of the other. Itappeared that they had been buried in a mass grave.
That was a spine-chilling scene and could have scared anyone. Rocky started walking faster, andsoon, he could see the place which was emitting spiritual power. But it was filled with dried anddesiccated corpses, whose skeletons had shrunk. The sight of the two bulging eyeballs, on eachframe, that threatened to fall off the sockets and hit the ground, was the most horrifying sight hehad seen. It was Rocky's worst nightmare, indeed.
Then he came upon another dead body and observed, "This man seems to have died, recently,”Rocky understood that from the cadaver's condition. When he looked carefully, he also saw a bagplaced near it. Inmediately after, he realized that the spiritual power he had received earlier, wasflowing from that bag.
